Test
Method
The Copper Strip Tarnish Test assesses the relative degree of corrosivity of
petroleum products, including aviation fuels, automotive gasoline, natural
gasoline, solvents, kerosene, diesel fuel, distillate fuel oil, lubricating
oil and other products. A polished copper strip is immersed in 30mL of sample
at elevated temperature. After the test period, the strip is examined for
evidence of corrosion and a classification number from 1-4 is assigned based
on a comparison with the ASTM Copper Strip Corrosion Standards. For aviation
fuels and natural gasoline the sample tube is placed inside a stainless steel
bomb during testing.
